Excel 2003 :: How To Eliminate Unneeded (hidden) Info
Jun 18, 2012
I have a 2003 Workbook that is around 7 mb. It used to be half of that but it jumped up in size which makes it harder to email, etc.
On the front page it would go out past the (known) data and I was able to reset it to the correct place but on the 2nd sheet it would go to IV 65536 without fail. I used VBA as well as physically deleting andor clearing rows and columns but to no avail.
I decided to start eliminating portions of the workbook to see if I could find where the size was coming from.
1. I deleted Regular formatting
2. I deleted Conditional formatting
3. Made everything the same font name and size, etc
4. I deleted all VBA Code.
5. Last but not least I deleted/cleared all data from all the sheets
Between each change I would save and close the workbook and check the size in Explorer.
Each deletion brought down the size, however after finishing step 5, I had a blank workbook with 3 sheets and it was still over 1.4 meg!
The next step was to remove the 2nd sheet. I did this and it went from 1.4 meg to 25 kb.
At this point I have been coping all the info into notepad and the from notepad into a new workbook.
I have a workbook that has multiple functions. One of these function is that when the user select a key word from a drop down validation list, a VB code transfer all information from that row from Column A to column W to the next available row on another tab.
VB: If Not Intersect(Target, Range("X:X")) Is Nothing And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then Application.EnableEvents = False
If LCase(Trim(Target.Value)) = "yes" Then
[Code] ....
Is there a possibility to transfer this information into another workbook. Instead of transferring the info to a tab name "Archives" to transfer in another workbook. This workbook will only have one tab called "Archives".
This will minimize the information within my Initial workbook in project.
The path in the new workbook where the information should be transfer should be in:
"C:Documents and Settings"username"My DocumentsMy Data Sources" to an excel workbook that will be named Archives.
I know that the "Archives" workbook need to open then close after the information has been inserted...
The other day I inserted a row in a shared workbook and then saved it. On my screen, the inserted row was visible and was the correct row height of 12.75. My goal was to insert the row so another user sitting next to me could enter information in the new row.
After I saved the workbook, and after the user sitting next to me saved her workbook, the row I inserted should have appeared exactly the same on her screen, but it did not. Instead, the inserted row showed up as a hidden row on her screen. It was there, but the row height was collapsed to the point of invisibility.
I repeated my attempt to insert a row which the other user could edit several times, but each time I got the same result. I could not make the row show up on her screen with a row height of 12.75.
I need to create a new excel template for work. I was planning to copy a few worksheets from an old workbook over into the new workbook, mostly just for formatting for some graphs/tables that I would then link to the new workbook. A coworker said I cannot do this as copying from an old workbook will bring in "hidden" data that could some way impact the integrity of the new workbook and that the copied/old worksheet would FOREVER be linked to the new workbook no matter what I do. Is this true? If so, are there things I can do to remove any reliance to the old workbook.
I need to match data in cell A to cell B and then if they equal I need to copy the adjacent cell C to cell X . How do I set up a macro to do this automatically? I have over 5000 cells to compare and match up.. I have Office 2003.
I have a worksheet where rows 22 through 52 are allotted for invoice information. Now, not every job is going to have 30 invoices, and I'd like to be able to hide 25 of those rows and have a scrollbar for that section of the page so that when a) user needs to enter invoice info they can scroll to an empty row, and b) when reviewing the data user can scroll through and see it all. The rows above 22 and below 50 are job info/totals and need to remain visible.
Early attempts to solve this conundrum resulted in a scroll bar that was capable only of changing the date entered for the first invoice (Date is the info in A22, which was the linked cell).
I have a workbook that contains a form that requires the user to enter a valid username and password to open the workbook. On my laptop it runs perfectly. On my desktop I have issues. When I launch the workbook on my desktop, I get the userform login as I am supposed to. Once I enter the login info I get the following error:
"Compile error in hidden module: UserForm1"
My desktop operating system is as follows:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
And I am running the following version of Excel:
Microsoft Excel 2003 (11.8105.8107) SP2 Part of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Once again, it seems to work perfectly on every PC except for mine. I need to be sure I have no compatability issues. Please help. I can post the code if need be.
I'm using excel 2010 and have inherited an old workbook that has seen many version updates over the years. The "view macros" list displays approx 25 macros and I know that not all are currently being used or necessary.
The main tab contains macro control buttons. Any macro not assigned to one of these controls is not necessary (it's probably old and was just never removed).
How can I determine which macros are "unassigned" to a control or otherwise invalid?
I have 2 lists (excel 2010) that I need to compare (they are currently 2 files, but I can combine them into 1 file with 2 worksheets) if it would be better.
The first list is of "All Students" at our college. The second list is those students who live "ON campus". I need a list of those students who live OFF campus.
The common denominator headers in both lists is: A1 Last Name A2 First Name
I would like to keep the "All Students" list as my master as it contains all the data I need such as addresses.
Ideally, I would like to create a macro or lookup or whatever that will take everyone from the "ON" list and remove them from the "ALL" list, leaving me with the data I need.
Upon opening after "Enable" is selected the workbook attempts to locate several nonexistent pieces of data, either internet based files or network based files. Requested data appears to be about 11 years old and would not be applicable it located.
Edit Links shows the location of the requested files, i.e., E:filename but does not show the location within the document that causes this request. A search for "E:" does not locate text in any worksheets.
The question is how to delete or turn off this problem which slows opening, saving, and recalculation of a large multiple worksheet workbook.
I really don't need all of those extra digits, at most 2 significant digits is all I need. I wrote a piece of code that looks like this to shorten each number but it is not working. The code runs and in the watch window I can see that each digit is indeed being trimmed and converted back to a number (vs. a string) but the chart series formula still carries all of those extra digits. What am I doing wrong here. The code I wrote is below.
I have 2 lists of codes with values tied to them, columns A & B, and columns C & D. Column A is a list of the codes in use, and column C is every code possible, I need to line up the codes and shorten column C to match column A, while retaining the value that is tied to each code so that I can compare Columns B & D easily.
I know that I can import data from access into excel. What I am looking for is a way to have the data linked so that any time that a change is made in access, that change will be reflected on my Excel worksheet.
Is it possible to export information from excel into access without actually opening the access tables?
I ask this because we have a program which uses a very old version of Access (97 I think) the program is being used more frequently by the company but is in dire need of cleanup of the databases along with quite a bit of updating of information. The program has no import option and whenever I open the access databases directly and make changes the program can no longer recognise the database.
I think that if I can update the information without opening the database and thus changing it to a more recent version I will solve my problem.
So once again: Can excel export tables directly into Access?
I am trying to pull info from Access into Excel using Data, Import External Data, New Database Query. I follow the menu and when I get to the end for the info to be pulled to Excel I get an error.
I have an Excel 2003 file that contains hyperlinks to OneNote notebooks on a Sharepoint site. An Excel macro looks for these links and determines the full hyperlink address which is then assigned to a variable. An Outlook message is generated which includes the hyperlinks.
The hyperlinks work in the Excel file. I can also copy them from OneNote and manually paste them into an Outlook message and they work. However, when I obtain their full address and transfer that to the email through code, the links do not work. The hyperlink address from OneNote starts with "onenote:http" which is not recognized as a link.
If I can do this manually, there must be a way to do this with vba. Are there characters I need to include in the OneNote hyperlink address to make this work? Is there another way to transfer the working link from Excel to Outlook?
I have an assignment for work where I am required to create a button within an excel sheet that will submit any text in a cell which in this case would be "A9" to a database to a certain field. I must create this using visual basic.
I have a spreadsheet with five cells (L3 - L7) that have dates entered into them in the format of 9/9/2013, 9/10/2013, 10/20/2013, 10/21/2013, 10/22/2013. In another cell, cell n2, I have the formula:
In cell n2 I get: 41526415274156741568481569 This is the excel number for the above dates, but I need it to look like:
Sep. 9 - 10, 2013, Oct. 20 - 22, 2013
I also need it to be able to isolate single dates for example if the date in cell l5 was 10/5/2013 instead of 10/20/2013 then I would want n2 to look like Sep. 9 - 10, 2013, Oct. 5, 2013, Oct. 21 - 22, 2013. but my formula currently only changes that number in the string from 41567 to 41552.
The reason I need this is because this information is part of a identifier and also maybe used in reports, the people reading the reports won't know this long number is actually dates and won't be able to read them if they did.
Also the cells L3 - L7 data depends on cell l2, 1 = one date entered into cell l3, 2 = two dates, one in cell l3, the next in cell l4, and so on for up to five total days that may or may not be consecutive. Also, it seems to work as is, but only for one day.
I have found a code to pull outlook calendar information from outlook to excel. I am trying to determine how to pull from Shared Calendars. This code looks as if they calendar has a number (9), but I can't figure out what the other calendar's numbers would be. How to pull from Shared Calendars and how to pull the month for which the calendar is on. My shared calendars are under Calendars>Shared Calendars in outlook. So for example, I would need to pull John Doe's calendar information for January if the calendar was on January. My code is listed below.
Sub ListAppointments()
Dim olApp As Object Dim olNS As Object Dim olFolder As Object Dim olApt As Object Dim NextRow As Long
I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.
I am trying to create a formula for a work report and I am afraid I am a bit of a novice with the more complex formulas. Here is what I am trying to do: Sheet 1 has Sales order numbers that duplicate based on the sales lines. Sheet 2 has single lines of sales order numbers and their assigned PO number. I would like to have Sheet 3 where it combines all data and duplicates and fills in the PO number to match all of the sales order numbers that repeat on the other sheet. I hope this makes sense. I can't seem to figure out if I need a VLookup or If or Match formula (or all of the above).
Had 2003 now 2013. Trying to get the macro to select different printers for different doccuments. 2013 macro recorder does not record any printer info or path, all printers show the same wording just application print...
How can I get the recorder to acurrately record and diferentiate printers?
